iApps daily backup fails after changing the FTP server

We have 3 VCMP guests and all three are using same iApps template for automated backup. The FTP server IP was changed recently and I updated the same on all three VCMP guests. But only one is working...

I looked this iApp at one time but found it wasn't going to fit my needs very well. I found it was easier to pull a UCS backup off my active guests to a backup system.

4 commands issued from the remote backup system:

rm /var/local/backup/F5guest.ucs
ssh account@F5guest tmsh save /sys ucs /var/tmp/F5guest.ucs > /dev/null
scp account@F5guest:/var/tmp/F5guest.ucs /var/local/backup/F5guest.ucs
ssh account@F5guest rm /var/tmp/F5guest.ucs

I use a variable for F5guest so that I can use it to pull backup from multiple guests and I use that guest system name for the name of the backup file and overwrite it each time. /var/local/backup/ can be whatever location on the local system the backup should be stored.
